In a world where only a tiny fraction of the money made in publishing ends up in the author's pockets and where they are generally the worst paid worker in the chain, complaining about used book sales or piracy is missing the point.

@brainblasted@gnome@aral To add in on the discussion: These and many other "over-thought" / "some users are braindead and therefore ALL are" fatalistic ideas are the major reasons, why I loathe and hate GNOME desktop and programs as a whole. With very few exceptions, like GThumb2.

I'm going camping this coming weekend and I feel like everyone's gaslighting me about my packing list. Normally I just pack for myself and that's that, but I'm going with a group and they want to coördinate.

They want to bring SO MUCH STUFF but we're only going for 3 days. Two of them expect their Jeep to be packed floor to ceiling backseat and all (hence why they want to coördinate and divide the load) but with fucking what???
